Game publishers, frustrated by the rise of use gamed sales, are increasingly making games that require online passes. A gamer has to purchase an online pass before he can play the game online. This trend sucks for gamers.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
This is stupid what about those that have other family member who play from the the same game.I paid $60 for mk and if it gets the online pass i'm gonna have to pay another $30 just so my bros can play online god i really hate this generation.
Im against Online passes but I see why some developers are doing it. But they really need to make it like a 3 time use thing or something, so more than one person that has a console in your house doesnt have to pay $15 to play online.
This is all fine and dandy that some people don't like online passes, but I rented Medal of Honor and Crysis 2 for PS3 and I could still play online without an online pass.
I'm not sure how long this lasts, but I guess it doesn't matter to me since I only have the game for 7 days anyhow.
As for online passes, it shouldn't really matter. I always find used games for only 5-10 dollars cheaper than new. So why not put your money towards a new, unused copy of whatever EA game you want? If you don't like it, just stop buying their games. Simple.
yep and this is what i do, any game requiring an online pass i won't buy simple... When i get my pc though i will download them for free :-) just to put two fingers up to these money grabbing companies... I mean come on they still make shit loads of money just off one game! I'm betting more money than we'll see in our lifetime! But oh no this is not enough! If they can get rid of used games and rented games they'll get even more MONEY! Fuck the fans, fuck the people that can't afford new games! Just get that MONEY!... Yeah i'll have those games for free thanks. Lol... What really gets me is i saw dead space 2 in game pre owned the other day, it was like 35 quid i think, i could get it cheaper new! But then that's just game for you! Another money grabbing rip off company! I can't remember the last time i bought something in there! I only go in to piss the staff off lmao. I know, i'm a bastard lol.
online passes fail for us but not for them because they get money from these passes..
